Co-Lead Facilitator, Southwark Playhouse Elders Company

Southwark Playhouse EldersCompanies consist of two weekly drama group for non-professional participants aged 65+ and aims to provide:

• Regular drama workshops at the theatre. Led by professional directors/facilitators, these develop participants’ skills, confidence and abilities, and provide them with an opportunity to meet others with similar interests.
• The development of a number of pieces of theatre performed by the group at Southwark Playhouse and, where appropriate, at others venues in the local community.

We are looking for a new co-lead facilitator to join our existing facilitation team. This role would particularly suit those with community theatre experience and an ability to manage a group of people with a variety of different backgrounds, skills and needs, and we are open to applications from people of all ages.

The Improvisers launched in 2021, with a focus on short and long-form improvisation and devising. Around twenty-five participants of all experiences and from across London take part in each twelve-week term, which often end in a short sharing for an invited audience.

Elders Company activity is free for all, with no auditions to join, making it accessible for everyone.
